Gianluigi Donnarumma's PSG farewell sparks transfer talk linking him to Manchester United and Manchester City amid goalkeeping questions

Donnarumma linked with United and City after PSG farewell

Gianluigi Donnarumma bid an emotional farewell to PSG after a 1-0 win over Angers, a moment that has intensified links to Manchester United and Manchester City. United face a fragile goalkeeping setup after high profile errors by Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir, while City have been connected with the World Cup winner even as they promote James Trafford from the academy to the first team.

PSG coach Luis Enrique has reshaped the goalkeeping situation, fueling speculation about Donnarumma's future. Reports note Galatasaray’s interest, and United have been linked with Belgian keeper Senne Lammens as a possible option. City sources have not denied interest, and Pep Guardiola has signaled a cautious approach as he weighs options ahead of upcoming fixtures.

The Donnarumma move signals a shift in how top clubs think about goalkeepers. Big names can still trigger market moves, but clubs must balance salary, age, and long term plans. City’s internal option in James Trafford and United’s need for reliability show a broader pattern: teams want stability and potential, not just a marquee name.

This episode also highlights how a high profile exit can unsettle a squad and affect a club’s timing in a crowded window. PSG and Donnarumma may be ready for change, but the ripple effects will test the market’s pace and its willingness to meet wage structures and contract length expectations.

Highlights

The transfer window still has many turns to come, and keepers will be at the center of many clubs’ plans.
